I have played ED thru a couple of times and am now playing DKS.
This was my first visit to Eagle's Nest with the new game. My first venture up the ladder was not successful and I wasn't really prepped for the fight as I should have been.
The next time I was ready with Click & Clack, the summoned demon and my Creature...during the battle that ensued, I accidentally back down thru the hole in floor. My minions, who had my best interests at heart, continued the fight and I heard the "umphs" and "ah's" as the man & woman(I forget their names) took their beatings.
The magic barrier at the top of the stairs appeared at the top of the ladder and I couldn't get up the ladder until my dudes had totalled the two nasties for me. Very cool....
After the battle, and the creature properly took care of his needs by lifting his leg, I picked up my loot. Pretty amusing, I must say.
